Has happened to me twice now where I was juggling things getting out of the car and dropped my 4. Fortunately just a few tiny chips to the band around the sleep button. After the second time I used a case for a few days but naked is just so good.

If you think a bumper is saving you from this situation you are sadly mistaken.

I did the exact same thing. Well, I took the phone out of my pocket as I got in the car. And because the stupid bumper was grabbing at the inside of my pocket, it slipped out of my hand and hit the garage floor. Shattered the back. This was within a week of delivery of my iPHone 4, way before this new 29 dollar replacement policy. I luckily talked the guys at the apple store into exchanging my phone for free.
